Jeremy Webb launches new Entrepreneurs School Dorking/LeatherheadFriday, 30 October 2009  Angela founded Appearance Management in 1995 and is one of the UK’s leading image consultants. She has made a unique contribution to our understanding of image with her identification of ten distinct Wardrobe Personalities ranging from casual to dramatic to creative. Her enduring success in a sector where people rapidly ‘come and go’ is due to her ability to skilfully and sensitively help people to Truly Be themselves. She gets a buzz out of helping people look good and to feel really great about themselves. “You can tell when it’s right” she says. “Their confidence increases and straight away their body language changes – they become a different person”.
